It might mollify people who disagree with the current implicit policy, and make discussion about the policy easier. Here's one option:
There's a single specific topic that's banned because the moderators consider it a Basilisk. You won't come up with it yourself, don't worry. Posts talking about the topic in too much detail will be deleted.
One requirement would be that the policy be no more and no less vague than needed for safety.
I'd like to have some way to discuss the basilisk with others who have already seen it, if it would be possible to do so without the forbidden-fruit problem.
Some aspects of the basilisk are currently beingdiscussed and have been discussed even before the original basilisk was proposed. You just need to connect the dots and be able to recognize them.
I don't see the purpose of such discussion. All the posts which are not criticising Roko's argument will be downvoted into oblivion. That's not a discussion, it's a monologue. The only aspect of this mess worth discussing any more is the censorship itself.
(I think it was uncalled for. We have downvoting for a reason.)
